SAILED THE SEAS 38 YEARS.
One of His Experiences.
For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed hi' sea, most of that time as master of a vessel, and upon retiring from the water was appointed by tlie .Secretary of the Failed States I reasury to superintend the seal fisheries in Ala-ka, which position lie held iive years, lie relates one experience as follows: "1'or several years I had been 1 rouhled with peneral nervousness and pain in the region of liiv heart. My greatest, a fTlie1 ion was sleepie-sness it was almost impassible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen I Jr. Miles' remedies advertised I began using •Nervine. After 1aking a small quantity ti'e benefit received was so great that 1 was positively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally be injurious to nie but. on being assured by the druggist, that it was perfectly harmless, 1 continued it together with the Heart Cure. Tcd'iv I can conscientiously say that Dr. Miles' 14 storative Nervine and Isew Heart Cure did more for me than anything I had ever taUen. I had been treated by eminent physicians in New York and Han 1 rancisco withoul cnI'ln. 1 owe my present good healtii to lie judicious use of these most valuable remedies, and heartily recommend them to all alllieted as I was."—Capt.

-(Continued From Titin! Ptuje.)
him learned tliat the conversation was about the wreck. The suspect, on go-'-nir up to Boyd. saw him reading1 the paper and asked about the wreck. lie then began to criticise the report in the paper and give his version of it. lie said: "1 tell you the strikers were raising h— there last night. They made me leave town and came prettv near hanging me." The officers knew from the condition of Holloway's shoes and pantaloons that he had come across the country during the night in somewhat of a hurry, and on learning of his previous knowledge of the wreck their suspicions were aroused. They approached Holloway, who was then making every effort to dodge them without breaking into a run, and began to question him. lie appeared confused from the first and would hesitate some time before answering questions. When he had answered all the questions they were considered sufficient to confirm the officers' suspicions and he was sent to jail, and the Vigo county Sheriff notified. The fact that Deputy Sheriff Croson immediately, on entering the llockville jail, recognized the suspect as the man whom he had driven away from the train at the point of a revolver later than S o'clock Thursday night, and later saw him at the side of the railroad track when the captured train backed from Fontanel to Coal Blulf, proves that Iiolloway spoke untruthfully when he said lie left Fontanet at 7 o'clock and walked to Kosedale. In addition to the suspect's array of conflicting stories it has been discovered that the tracks found in the held adjacent to the thrown switch resemble in size and shape those made by Holloway's shoes. There are numerous other cireumstanaes which point to guilt which the officers in charge of the case do not desire to make public until the investigation has progressed further. They think, however, that when the suspect begins to think he is cornered he will do as he did when confronted by the infuriated miners—weaken. Then the story of the awful crime will be told in detail.
The Exprcxx of this morning says: Ed Holloway, the suspect in jail supposed to be one of the parties implicated in throwing the switch and causing the wreck at Fontanet Friday morning, is badly frightened, and his uneasiness in jail is taken as an indication that the fellow is weakening, and the officers are inclined to the opinion that but a few more days of confinement and severe questioning and Holloway will give up the whole story of the cowardly murder. Holloway is kept under a close watch and no person save the attorneys and detectives are allowed to converse with him. He spends much of his time in crying. Tt is likely that others implicated in the affair will be arrested as the investigation progresses and disclosures are made. l'he Big Four railroad has offered a reward of Si.000 for the arrest and conviction of any person implicated in the fiendish act.
Monday morning word was received here from Holloway retaining White Reeves and Tom Stilwell as his attorneys. \Y. M. Reeves went to Terre Haute Monday morning. Holloway is a member of the P. O. S. of A. commandery and also of Company I.

Why does he desire to blow The cylinder-head out of the Constitution And burst a cog in the by-laws? Did he ever hear of the Declaration of Independence, I wonder.

PROBABLY FATAL RUNAWAY.
Miss Iydia Konk Dangerously Hurt Xcar New Koss Sunday Morning.
Special 10 the Journal. Ni- \v ROSS. .July 10.—Miss Lydia Ronk. daughter of Joe Honk, who lives a mile and a half south of here, started out for a drive yesterday morning. She was driving a colt and it became unmanageable and notwithstanding her eftorts to stop it. it ran away. When in front of the house of Logan Ronk. a neighbor, it plunged through an open gate. The turn was made so suddenly that tlie buggy was overturned and the helpless girl was hurled against the gate post, her head striking first, crushing the skull just over tne left eye. It was thought for a time she was dead but with hard work she soon showed signs of life and Dr. B'-onaugh was dispatched out there. He pronounced the wound dangerous and probably fatal. The buggy was totally demolished and when the horse arrived home it had nothing on except a bridle. The girl is somewhat easier to-day and mav recover.
Hustled Through the Capital. Indianapolis Sentinel: "Gen." Kelsey has probably shaken the dust of Indianapolis from his feet. It was not his own shaking, but the shaking was done, nevertheless, and Indianapolis is rid of a part of the pest, notwithstanding the fact that about half of the '"army' stopped here as individuals. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock Mayor Denny,'Police Commmissioners Ruckle and Connor. Superintendent Powell and Capt. Splann drove out to the ."industrials' camp for the purpose of investigating the situation regarding the "army." "Gen." Kelsey was absent at the time and tlie "army" was ordered to move 011. This it did under the escort of Patrolmen Reeder and Rogers. It kept moving until it arrived at Maywood. which is outside the four-mile limit of jurisdiction. Here they rested to await the arrival of their illustrious leader.

E FACTS IN THE CASE.
The History of tlie Democrat ie ('11 vent ion lleld In tlie Court House Saturday Afternoon.'
To the Editor Journal. So much has been said concerning the everlasting drubbing given the auti-Brookshire faction at the Democratic township convention held Saturday that it seems good to give the history of the interesting little skirmish. As has been known for some time Wm* Johnston, John Booe, George Welty, Jere lveeuey and a few other Democrats who failed to receive the offices to which Et'iey aspired, have lost no opportunity of abusing Mr. Brookshire and his friends, especially Walter Ilulet, J. M. Seller, Dr. Gott and Taylor Thompson. Tlie faction's organ, the Star, especially teemed with abuse until the late Democratic county convention, when this man Keeney promised that if he were made secretary he would "let up" 011 Mr. Brookshire,"the Big Four" and John L. Goben. With tliis understanding he became secretary and has since refrained from comment. In spite of this editorial silence. however, this faction lost no opportunity to work against, the gentlemen mentioned. As the time approached for the selection of delegates to the State and Congressional conventions they began to display their claws in a decidedly vicious manner. Johnston and Keeney made themselves particularly conspicuous and declared that they intended to elect an anti-Brook-sliire ticket from this township to go to the Covington convention. In some manner, just how I cannot conceive, they imagined they had a following and could do as they pleased. Finally, however, on Friday evening by some means they came into a consultation with Mr. Ilulet., Dr. Gott and others of Mr. Brooksliire's personal friends. These gentlemen were more than anxto preserve peace and harmony in the ranks of the county Democracy and were willing to make any reasonable concession to secure that desired end. It was proposed that a "compromise ticket" be selected and that the names placed thereon should be selected as delegates to the Congressional and State conventions. Throughout this conference Wm. Johnston was most arbitrary and abusive .and loudly asserted that his faction had the upper hand and could easily win. and that it was a great concession on his part to consent to any such an arrangement as was on foot. A list of State delegates was finally selected, however, and also a list of Congressional delegates with an understanding that the Congressional delegates, virtually all of whom were chosen by Johnston, should vote for Brookshire in tlie convention. O11 this list were a few outspoken Brookshire men like Grant Agnew for instance, but it was clear that nearly all of them would like Grant be unable to attend. When, however, Johnston proposed that the chairman of tlie convention should appoint George Welty and Jere Keeney as a committee to report this list to the convention Dr. Gott left in disgust. This was at the second conference Saturday, shortly before noon. Walter Hulet, Judge Seller. John L. Goben aud a number of other Brookshire men staid with the compromise ti(!ket in spite of the abuse heaped upon them but there were Democrats on the outside who could not see it that way. M. J. Carroll, Dr. Gott and others determined to rebuke the faction once for all. Opposition tickets, containing only the names of loyal Brookshire men were printed after dinner, taken to the convention and distributed. In spite of the fact that many of Brookshire friends voted the compromise ticket for the sake of harmony it was ingloriously defeated. The contemptible faction was beaten fairly out of existence. This faction is not representative of Montgomery county Democracy. It is a feeble body of disappointed cranks and its rebuke last Saturday is a true index of the regard witli which it is entertained by the party With its organ, the Star,bound to an ignominious silence, the antiBrookshire federation would do well to disband. It will doubtless lie a bitter pill, but better people have swallowed larger ones. A I)K.\II

Tlie Ladoga Lender contains tlie following additional information concerning the arrest of Dr. Hunt, mention of which was made in last week's JOIHNAI,:
Wednesday night at midnight Mrs. Josephine Stewart was brought by her father and brothers from Hendricks county into Clark township, arid there at the roadside she made allidavit to the statement that J. A. W. Hunt, the dentist, is the father of her unborn child. Hunt was arrested 011 the charge yesterday morning and taken before Justice Witt for trial, but the woman was in a condition too delicate to allow her to be present, and the case was continued until August Hunt's bond was fixed at s-100 which he had not given when lie went to press.
Mrs. Stewart is the daughter of Jonathan. Stewart, a we] 1 known and highly respected citizen of Hendricks county. She married a man named Stewart, but they have not lived together for two years, and have 110 children. It is claimed that the woman has always borne a good reoutation.

THE .RIOT IN BALTIMORE.
A Memorable Conflict Keealled Ity the Kailroad ItiotH ill (.'hieuKO.
Upon the arrival of the lomr train containing the Massachusetts and some other troops, which was about ten o'clock in the morning a threatening crowd quickly gathered around the station. The troops remained in the cars and could an engine have been at once attached to the train they might have passed on unmolested: but a city ordinance required that, within certain limits, the cars should be drawn through the streets by horses, which, of course separated them from each other: and of this separation and slow movement the mob were quick to take advantage. The horses were seized, impediments were, thrown upon the racks, and at last the cars were pelted with paving-stones. But the drivers whipped up their horses—the momentum of the cars was too great for the crowd to withstand—and in this manner nine of the eleven cars pushed through and escaped with their freight of quiet, unresisting soldiers. But the mob soon increased in activity ami daring as well as in numbers: some heavy anchors near by were dragged up and thrown on the track, and the slow movement of the last two cars, which contained four companies, became so difficult and tlieir situation so dangerous, that it was determined that the men should alight and march to the Washington station. They filed out of the cars and formed amid howls of defiance and derision. The Colonel of the regiment was with the companies in advance, and the ollicers thus left behind,, holding a hurried consultation, devolved the command of their detachment 011 Captain Albert Follansbee, of Lowell. lie wheeled his men into column and began the march in uJose order. Stones, bricks, and every missile at hand soon ilevv thick and fast, and men armed with muskets and pistols began to appear in the ever-in-creasing mob. To that which had gathered thickly around the station another was now added. A large and tumultuous crowd, headed by the insurgent flag, rushed down the street in the face of the troops, shouting them to turn back and threatening death to every "white nigger" of them who should attempt to reach the other station. But Captain Follansbee, calling upon the poiiee to lead the way, he and his little band began the march steady and unresisting. They had gone but a short distance when their progress was retarded and their lines broken by a small bridge, from which the mob had torn up the plank- but the soldiers jumped from timber and got over, though in confusion. Many of them had by this time been severely hurt, anil now two were struck down by missiles, which came thicker and faster than ever. A shot was at, last fired into their ranks, and Captain Follansbee, thinking that tlie assault, had been borne long enough, ordered his men to cap their pieces and defend themselves. The order was instantly obeyed with deadly effect but the fire was returned with guns and pistols as well as with paving stones. The mayor of Baltimore now placed himself at the head of the little column, and endeavored to restrain the rioters by a bold exertion of his authority but the protection which the municipal powers of Baltimore had often before failed to afford its own citizens it could not extend to strangers under these strange circumstances
Tlie Mayor's efforts proved futile and he retired battled. The mob had become a vast surging mass of infuriated men. The soldiers, who were a little more than a hundred strong, were making their way through three thousand rioters. They kept together, however, in close ranks, opposing obedience and endurance to lawlesness and fury, wheeling upon their assailants and firing only when the attack became too severe to be borne without resistance and in this manner they fought their way, with patient valor, one mile through the raging throng to the Washington station. But they had not yet escaped the perils of Baltimore. They and the rest of the regiment which preceded them, indeed, by the exertions the police and by their own large and well armed members, to take the Washington cars, and the train was detained for some time in hopes that tlie mob would disperse but it still increased, and. as. it dared not face the muskets ofa whole regiment, it turned its energies to the destruction of the train. The crowd dashed off upon the track in such numbers that for a mile it was an excited, rushing mass. Great logs and telegraph poles that required a do/.en men to move were now thrown upon the rails, and rocks were rolled down upon the track from the enbankment. Attempts were made to tear up the rails. '1 he police in large force went forward and removed the obstructions, and the train, under a discharge of revolvers and stones, steamed slowly after but the mob kept ahead of the police continuing its destructive work. Finally the efforts, though not the fury of the mob, ceased from physical exhaustion. At last the track was clear and the citizen soldiers, who had so promptly obeyed the orders of the elected chief magistrate of the
nation, were borne swiftly beyond the reach of their infuriated countrymen, to tlie defense of their common Capitol.- Anticipating the interest that the public evince at this time.

THE STATE ENCAMPMENT.
LU All I 'vnlmliility 'Will LTO A I IIIIKI OIMMI —It.
IH Not NetTHnnry.
The encampment, of the Indiana legion this year -will in all probability be abandoned. Governor Matthews was asked concerning it last Week, and he stated that from the fact, that the troops have seen so much service already this year the necessities of the encampment have practically beendisensed with. The object, of the encampment is to give the soldiers a schooling, and the militia, this year has had several weeks of actual experience. Most, of the Second regiment, and many of the companies of the Third have been out a week or more, and the companies of the First, regiment are now doing duty.
The cost of holding the encampment is another feature to be considered. Considering the expense to which the State lias already been put. it is doubtful if the State officials will think it advisable to go to the extra expense when nearly all of the companies have been out.
The ollicers of the militia feel that the encampment should be held, as it gives opportunities for drills that the companies do not have except at these times. There are forty-four companies in the State militia and thirty-one of these have, seen service during the summer.
The question of holding the encampment will be decided in a short time.
Mlupluced Admiration.
The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis News says: Congressman Brookshire, of Indiana, expresses great admiration for Eugene Debs, who is a constituent of his. "He is one of the most modest and conservative of men," says Mr. Brookshire. He is tall, slight, with a high, intellectual head. lie is a vigorous, captivating and concise talker."
Mr. Brooksliire's admiration corresponds to the admiration of a Missouri Congressman for that "moderate and conservative man,'1 Jesse James. The only diflercnce between Ilcbs and the Missouri outlaw is that Debs is a wholesale pirate and Jesse did a small retail business. Mr. Brooksliire's administration is certainly misplaced.
